So, I don't know how many of you have been keeping up to date with the Summer Olympics but I've got a couple of things to say.
Usually I only watch the opening ceremonies because it's this big production and no one's competed yet so everyone's happy. I also like to see the uniforms each country has when they walk into the huge stadium.
This year I decided to watch a bit more than usual since every time I turn on the T.V. I'm hearing about how great the U.S. is doing because of Michael Phelps in swimming and so on. I wish I didn't. I became sucked in like everyone else to the point that I now have an opinion and am actually upset about a couple of things.
1) What is up with China getting first over Nastia Lukin when they were tied?! WTF! They got the same freaking score! Why does Ling lu la, or whatever her name is, get gold?
2) What is up with China getting gold over Jonathan Horton in male high bar?! China messed up twice and Jonathan's only deduction was the ONE step he took when he landed! Last time I checked one was less than two. Or do we not count that way in Beijing?
3) What is up with Jamaican runner Usain Bolt? This guys the most obnoxious winner I've ever seen. He actually slows down towards the end of a race, because he knows he's first, to slap his chest and throw his hands out! Is that how you say "Obnoxious Jerk"in your native tongue?
I am happy about the over all medal count and that we're kicking China's butt. Sorry for all you Chinese out there but in my opinion, your country is taking advantage of having the Olympics in Beijing and rewarding itself when it shouldn't. Just my opinion!

WHAT? I didn't know all that happened with the points and stuff. Geez Louise!! and dude that runner...tsk tsk. what a jerk. yeah you're fast but you're still not nice.
Hi! I'm Kaytee Lutu's sister Tara and I was just checking out your blog from hers (I know I'm weird but she doesn't post anything so I have to resort to stalking her friends blogs for my entertainment!) and I COMPLETELY agree! What the crap is up with them robbing our gymnasts of medals they clearly deserved?! They need to come up with a better system because that just sucked! It makes me feel better knowing that I was probably not the only one yelling at the tv! And yeah that guy is such a jerk! I kept thinking that if I was Jamaican I would be embarrassed! Thanks for the opportunity to vent! Take care! Tara :)
Hahaha!! You're so funny. What's even funnier is that I feel the same way. I've never really watched it before, but this year I got sucked in and developed feelings of anger I wish I never had! Haha! Anyway, I feel you sis! GO USA!!!
ALL VERY GOOD POINTS! I do agree. I am going to laugh if they really do uncover that the gymnist for Chia are under age and their medal get stripped away... that means they loose 4 gold, and keep 2 bronze. And then US gets MORE golds!!! Cause seriously a few of them look like they're 13 or something NOT 16. But I do LOVE the olympics... I watch them everytime. Its probably one of the times that I sit and watch so much tv. Plus I wanted to watch Tasha this year! ps I'm in Cali and loving it!
